Courts have ruled over and over again that using a church as a polling place does not violate the separation of church and state, as defined in the Supreme Court case Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971).

Do you really have a problem with voting in a church? Is it that hard for you to actually walk in one? I would hope not - I don't think anyone will be there screaming Bible verses at you or handing you a pamplet.
So you can ROFL all you want, don't like it - don't vote!

I love going to church...just have a problem with sleazy polititians using Gods house as a place to choose which "sleaze" is less dangerous for us...what happened to using libraries and high school gyms? Don't taint Gods house with politics! Half those guys we have to choose from probably don't even own a bible.

Ummm what? If it bothers you to vote in a church so much then, just ask for an absentee ballot. By the way, separation of church and state is NOWHERE to be found in the Constitution. Read it for a change.

First Amendment to the US Constitution also known as the Bill of Rights. Shared for the edification of the folks without a copy:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to peacefully assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Seriously? You are bringing up separation of church and state in regards to this? Separation of church and state was intended to keep the state out of the churches, because of the growing government intrusion into church policies. However, this has not a thing to do with that. These are simply locations at which you can cast your ballot. No campaigning is allowed anywhere near a polling station. I believe the legal statute says, within 1000 ft of a poll.
In the case of the Maysville poll, it had to be moved because the morons at the Maysville Library allowed Court to be held next to awaiting voting machines, which are supposed to be sealed and locked away from the public until voting day. This caused the machines to be invalidated. The UMC is graciously opening its doors as a service to its citizens, as good Christians should. No hypocrisy there.

Seriously Dr. Doolittle? Yes I am bringing it up it just takes one little thing like this for them to intrude on church policies. I would think you would be smarter than that. Once you let government in the doors you can't get them out, and will forever be indebted to their services. It all starts out with something innocent as polling and then before you know it they want everyone's church member name and what taxes they do and don't pay. Is that really worth it just to vote. To that I say no thanks.

Obviously your one of Obama's misfits because you like free healthcare and you enjoy everything Obama. Just wait till a radical second term is all I am saying. I for one am going to enjoy this sinking ship of say see I told you so to all the folks who voted not just for him but all the Senate and House Republicans. You will pay the piper its not a matter of if but when. Just look at Greece.....
